You aint seen nothing yet, But that chopper case is really impressive, But very simple to make when you think of it.

just readin up on the 900, came across this :
not enough clearance to connect monitor, hmmm......

Anti

That just sucks, all that moneis for a case, and you have to take a dremel to it.

I was thinking of buying this, Now i wont. Cheers for the post mate

KamiKazi

yeah id love to build my own case but i dont have tools or workshop or anythin

this one is nice, built in watercoolin http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/fulltower/armor_lcs/ve2000bws.asp

It's cheap, efficient, looks decent and can handle ANYTHING you can throw at it.

You don't need much in the way of tools or practical skill, you most certainly don't need a workshop to do a mod job. Anything you can't do yourself you can commission professionals to do for you. I know because I just finished a mod job on my home PC with only a rusted powerless inaccurate small saw that's over 10 years old!

Here's what I did: Six months ago I bought one of these:

Then http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=309319

recently I started obtaining mod supplies, including one of these:

and some case lighting including UV LEDs and cold cathodes
Then commissioned a local welder to cut a window out of the left had side of the case, cut the panel to fit it (after nearly wrecking it, long story) glued the panel to the case inside and added the rest of my mod supplies.

What I have now really looks nice, and you can see the results on the "Case Mod's" thread - it's the newest post

Don't underestimate yourself or your equipement. Anyone can do a mod job with an absolute minimum of tools and skill. Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty (metaphorically speaking) because the results are definately worth it.

If you are into doing a bit of modding work, I know of a SGI Origin 2000 box that is free to a good home. Could make a very nice project.

You wouldn't happen to have the dimensions of that SGI box would you? Or a photo or two?

It's the smaller one in the pic. I'll get the dimension the next time i'm the room with it, but it's like one of those stubby fridges, like in a hotel room or something.
Edit, there is pics actually.

Not a case as such but whats the deal with all these latest insane "cardboard" box PCs? I saw one, think it was either a Pentium D or Conroe, made inside a crappy....noodle box.

Great, the chance of your PC getting robbed are drastically reduced but the risk of your eh...box going up in flames?

The man is a genius, So so so much work gone into that.. The thing is.. Black, silver, green n blue.. It just doesnt work for me. The 4 temp read outs on the front of the case look nasty.. After all that work n skill i think its ruined by a few tiny details.... Still tho, its prob one of the only mods out there where u can say,"see that little nut in there.. i made that n all!!"
